This old-style traditional Portuguese restaurant is a great place for lunch or dinner with a wide variety of dishes at a good price. The waiters are as old as the menu, but just as dependable and both aim to please. Their croquettes are always crispy, their fish is always fresh, and their meat is always cooked just right. This explains why it’s a popular place for lunch meetings and group dinners, so don’t be surprised if you have to wait a few extra minutes to grab a table.
